Scream by Michael J. Seidlinger
"Object Lessons is a wonderful, original and eye-opening series. The author couldn’t talk until he was older and has issues speaking in public, so he really appreciates the value of screams. From horror movies to rollercoasters, this book analyzes why" Read more of this review »

Scream by Michael J. Seidlinger
"The author dives into screaming, something I’ve admittedly thought very little about, even though it’s my family’s preferred method of communication.

The writer examines screaming through multiple lenses: its prevalence in the horror genre, as a batt" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Michael J. Seidlinger  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“After all the talk about the end of the world the irony was that it actually happened.”
Michael J. Seidlinger, The Sky Conducting

“The demons exist. If they don’t find you, you create your own. Fear is there. It never fades. But know that you never have to be alone. Never doubt yourself, just because everyone else doesn’t understand. There’s an entire kingdom out there. Hold on to that image. Be”
Michael J. Seidlinger, Falter Kingdom

“Camus believes that in rejecting hope, rather than despair, the individual becomes that much closer to being free. It’s in the acceptance of the futility of our actions online, even though they may provide both cause (validation, recognition) and value (enriching life via apps, etc.) there will be no change. Activity will continue. Inevitably, our relevancy or level of activity will falter, and eventually change. Camus uses the inevitability of death as cause and reason to eliminate hope. To eliminate hope lets the individual experience fully, without reservation and restriction, the life at hand. I could say the same about our modern condition.”
Michael J. Seidlinger

“There are two kinds of people, those who like to sleep next to the wall, and those who like to sleep next to the people who push them off the bed.”
Etgar Keret, The Bus Driver Who Wanted to be God and Other Stories

“According to Gur's theory of boredom, everything that happens in the world today is because of boredom: love, war, inventions, fake fireplaces - ninety-five percent of all that is pure boredom.”
Etgar Keret, The Nimrod Flipout

“After all the talk about the end of the world the irony was that it actually happened.”
Michael J. Seidlinger, The Sky Conducting

“When a person screams in pain, the actual pain is only half the noise they make. The other half is the terror at being forced to accept that they exist.”
Noah Cicero, The Condemned

“When I started writing
I was a sick teenaged
fuck inside who partly
thought I was the new
Marquis de Sade, a body
doomed to communicate
with Satan who was us-
ing my sickness as his
home away from home,
and there’s your proof.”
Dennis Cooper
